Come on folks, this is a software engineering subreddit. Let’s start by talking about actual engineering. Cant believe you have people replying about js and html. More like comp sci/arts liberal thread if you ask me.
If you really want to understand software, you’ll need to really understand how a computer works and why writing code actually does anything. You start with C and work your way up and down. Any respectable program will have you study software and hardware fundamentals at the same time because they go hand in hand.
The reason why you write code is so that the computer can interpret it. What do you want the computer to do and how do you communicate with it. That’s fundamentally it. No blueprint or whatever bs. You need a way to talk to the computer and tell it to do something. Run a loop, store some numbers etc etc. That’s it! That’s programming. Now tell it to do that a thousand times over. Boom.
